Given the quadratic
equation:
3x^2 - 7x =
3
==> 3x^2 - 7x -3 =
0
We need to determine the type of
roots.
Then, we will use the discriminant to find
out.
We know that:
delta = b^2
- 4ac
If delta = 0 ==> then the equation has one
real root.
If delta > 0 ==> then the equation
has two real roots.
If delta < 0 then the equation
has two complex roots.
If delta is a complete square, then
it has 2 rational roots
If delta is not a complete square,
then it has 2 irrational roots.
Let us test
delta.
delta = b^2 -4ac = (-7)^2 - 4*3*-3 = 49 + 36 =
85
Then delta > 0 , then it has two real
roots.
Also, delta is NOT a complete square, then it has
irrational roots.
Then, the answer is number
(3) Real, irrational, and unequal.
